NREL helps US Virgin Islands reduce its dependence on oil

11.01.2012: The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has helped the US Virgin Islands (USVI) map out a plan to reduce its reliance on oil by 60 percent by 2025. The plan relies heavily on energy efficiency measures, but solar power projects, primarily small-scale rooftop PV systems, would account for 3 percent of the reduction plan. The high cost of importing oil into USVI means that residents pay up to 47¢ per kWh. The project is part of the Energy Development in Island Nations (EDIN) initiative, an international partnership that aims to help islands adopt energy efficiency measures and deploy renewable energy projects. … Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); Summary: PHOTON http://www.nrel.gov http://www.nrel.gov/news/features/feature_detail.cfm?feature_id=1704
